Great event - very well attended - 120+ kids grouped into four co-ed age groups (6-8,9-11,12-14 and 15-17) - coaches (HS coaches, D1 players, Shen varsity players) at 8 half-court stations ran drills with kids rotating thru all of them over the first 2+ hours - shooting competitions were then held in each group of 30+ kids with 8 winners coming from each of the 4 groups - those winners then competed in a group shooting competition which produced one overall winner from each age group - my 11 year old granddaughter won in her group - the four winners then competed in a long distance shooting competition vs Kevin - each winner shot until a miss from 5 around the horn locations in the vicinity of the HS 3pt line - first three missed all 5 shots (although my granddaughter's shots rimmed out, LOL) while the winner from the 15-17 group nailed a ton of 3's - Kevin missed from the first 4 spots before hitting one "at the buzzer" - the final 4 kids all got Huerter #3 Hawks shirts - all participants went home with at least 2 T's, a new basketball, sack and air pump - Kevin then hung for another hour and a half or so signing autographs for the huge crowd that had been patiently waiting while the on-court activities concluded - all in all, a super day that will be remembered for a long time - lots and lots of new Atlanta Hawks fans - thanks so much to Kevin and his family for pulling such a successful event together... www.news10.com/sports/local-sports/kevin-huerter-gives-back-with-518-hoopfest/PS - my granddaughter is shown in the video shooting with Kevin before the event started (all the kids wore #3 and each age group had a different color T) Several faces from Siena's past were in attendance or coaching (Tom Huerter Sr, Tom Huerter Jr (coach), Micah Ogburn (his daughter competed with my granddaughter), Tay Fisher) |

@misspractice -what an awesome way to give back to the community and inspire future generations! Using your powers for good is something I'd love to see more "celebs" do. It sounds like the event was a huge success! Kudos to Kevin and his family, and congrats to your granddaughter who surely will remember this day
